General information

In pigeons, the protein glutathione-disulfide reductase (encoded by the gene GSR) plays an important role in the bird’s ability to sense magnetic fields. Research has linked a mutation that increases the expression of GSR to improved navigation and homing ability in pigeons. Approximately 80% of pigeons bred for homing are homozygous for the mutation. The GSR mutation is therefore a useful performance marker.
